Blackpink's Jisoo has hinted at the release of a surprise upcoming duet. The singer shared a mysterious teaser image on social media earlier this week, featuring a shadowed male silhouette standing behind her, with the word "Eyes closed" written across the frame. "A duet is near," the caption read. A second post brought the shadowed male closer to the forefront, with the caption: "two voices, one orbit. coming soon." The mysterious collaborator has now been revealed as Zayn Malik, a former member of One Direction. Malik was previously seen attending Blackpink's New York concert in July, accompanied by his daughter, Khai. After the show, he shared a photo from the audience with the caption: "@Blackpinkofficial thank you 🙂 Me & Khai loved it," sparking curiosity about the connection between the two artists. The upcoming duet will mark Jisoo's first new music release since her solo EP Amortage in February. She is currently on Blackpink's Deadline world tour, which began in Seoul in July and will resume in Taiwan on 18 October following a brief break after the group's London shows in August. Meanwhile, Malik is set to reunite with former One Direction bandmate Louis Tomlinson in a Netflix road-trip special.
